There is one religion out there that claims snakes and burning bushes can talk, that humans were made from dirt and ribs, and that God would have had us all burn in a lake of fire until the end of time unless he impregnated a virgin, and the child borne of her was tortured to death after he grew up. That's some ridiculous garbage right there.

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
